Hi, i'm making a train-bot in C with Dev-Cpp. My problem is i ca'nt seem
to pitch the bot with the AW_MY_PITCH attribute.
The bot is moving accordingly to all other parameters i give it
(AW_MY_X, etc).
Here is the fonction i'm trying to use to refresh the bot's position 4
times per second:

> void refresh(void){
> aw_int_set (AW_MY_X, X);
> aw_int_set (AW_MY_Z, Z);
> aw_int_set (AW_MY_Y, Y);
> aw_int_set (AW_MY_YAW, YAW);
> aw_int_set (AW_MY_PITCH, pitch);
> aw_int_set (AW_MY_GESTURE, gest);
> aw_state_change ();
> }

I have been confirmed this should work, as it does in other languages,
like Delphi..
Any help or comment would be aprreciated.

ok, that seems work correctly now, thank again for your help.

Hello, I don't understand how to do for make aw_event_set inside an
instance fonction like (it's not the really code but ligh for the example):

// Constructor
awctrl::awctrl ()
{
aw_init(AW_BUILD); // Work
aw_event_set (AW_EVENT_CHAT, on_chat); // Make my compiler error //message:
// C:\folder\test\CAwCtrl.cpp argument of type `void awctrl::)()'
// does not match `void (*)()'
}

// instance function for a chat event
void awctrl::on_chat (void)
{
...... // code for a chat event
}

can you help me for my problem ?
I am trying to make a class for using SDK

Mar 7, 2005, 4:25pm

tks scifair for your response. I see and prefer to use standard SDK of AW

I ever use static function for making me sure to have only one instance
of the class : defining constructor in private and have a static pointer
create function how return adress of existing instance or if not, create
it and return adress like:
in Ctrlaw.h :

class ctrlaw
{
ctrlaw::ctrlaw();
ctrlaw::~ctrlaw();
static ctrlaw* ptctrlaw;
public:
ctrlaw* Create();
void kill();
}

in ctrlaw.cpp:

ctrlaw* ctrlaw::ptctrlaw=0;

ctrlaw* ctrlaw::Create()
{
if (!ptctrlaw) ptctrlaw=new ctrlaw;
return ptctrlaw;
}

so if I understand your method, just add:

private:
static void InitEvent();
public:
static void On_Chat(void);

in the class proto and for cpp definition:

void ctrlaw::InitEvent()
{
aw_event_set(AW_EVENT_CHAT, On_Chat);
}

void ctrlaw::OnChat()
{
.... code here
}

of course, with the method for having only one instance from the class,
no possibility to have few objects and conflict with using Static handler...

I am not yet try it but, what do you thing about this?

for your info, I try to make meself a class how I'could use in future
for all my bot under AW environment and in the same time, with the
Object Oriented Language....

Maybe you are using aw_wait(-1) ? If yes, the AW SDK take for itself all
the thread time for it. your rich control is not refresh by the windows
system. You have 2 solutions for resolve it : make an aw_wait(20) inside
the windows callback loop (20 ms for exemple) or use a specific thread
for AW. I using Dev CPP 4.9.9.0 with the wxWidgets (better than windows
API for the GUI)

[View Quote] For example , I have my GUI in the main thread and all AW operation are
in this thread.
For the aw_wait(x), I make a specific Thread who I can stop, pause and
resume in normal task priority.But in this specific thread, I don't use
the -1 value because it block my thread, so I use a time like 20 ms.
I'll test it with a 0 value, I'll tell you...

hi,I had adapted the aw.dll sdk for a friend on PureBasic. It work very
fine. you can get it on may download section on
http://www.abyssia.fr/download.php

(there's the greeter bot example include)

Socket = new wxSocketClient ();

The SDK seem not like other TCP socket with wxwidgets...

I can't use the tray system icon with wxwidgets that crash the SDK.

Please , is it due to me or the new SDK need a specific thread ?

On my ChatGlobal I'm sure all bots are Out when I send the aw_term();
I try to put a wait loop unblocked to let time SDK shutdown.
Always the same error at the app closing.
I don't know what to do, I'll back to SDK 61 for moment...

HI, I have my chatglobal project who permit you connecting more than 3
bot on different universe. It is a relay chat with common color function
and style, with the possibility to link a lots of chat world trought the
xelagot server. For moment , I give the 1 bot AW only universe on my web
site http://www.abyssia.net, but if you are interesting by my host
version (more than 1 bot)
, send me a mail...

I'm pleased to present you my last software for AW in multilanguage
version. It usefull for animation and travelling in a world. It's in
free download on my web site http://www.abyssia.net/EMoverEN.php

Hi, I work actually on the portage of my bots with wxwidgets under linux
(thks to andras for the SDK) I think it's usefully to tell you a curious bug
with my mandrake 2006.

My ChatGlobal bot use an aw_citizen_attribute_by_name command for query the
universe about a citizen after an AW_EVENT_CHAT (it's the only command I
found to get the citizen number, the session number is not enought)
On windows, the command is very fast and not slowing the database for get
user data. But under linux , the same commande take more than one second.

In a first time I had think about the Andras suggest about using a timer
(because the mandrake slowing the SDK).
But when I removed the "aw_citizen_attribute_by_name" command and just only
identify an user by is name, the ChatGlobal time delay seem to be better
than the windows version.
{info : I don't use callbacks, because the engine need to have info
immediatly for displaying the relay chat, and windows version works
perfectly}

Dec 3, 2005, 6:16am

For timing my thread , I use a wx Heartbeat for calling aw_wait(0) and it
have the same effect of your timer example I suppose.

I don't use the AVATAR_ENTER because I could have another users on a
different world, and I have only their name returned throught the Tchat
network.

I think ,that I'll go to insert the citizen number in my DB when happen
avatar_enter event like you said.

I was just interested by the time difference between linux and windows about
aw_citizen_attributes command.

Hi, ChatGlobal portage on AW 4.1 is ready. It support French, english
and spanish languages.
Chatglobal is a relay Tchat who give colors and styles, global mode
(hear all the world) or limited distance emulation (like the default T'chat)
It can permit you to connect your world with another (another universe
too) throught a xelagot server using chatglobal network protocol.

you can get it on http://www.abyssia.net/chatglobalen.php

(sorry spanish pages are not yet implanted)

I confirm this strange thing, I'm too an resident of gala, and I'have been
very stupefact by the continuous eject from france!(The eject happen
immediatly when we trying enter in this world). So, I have discuss whith
another citizen of gala, and they tell me the same thing. Very strange. I
became very interested by HOW is it possible to select a citizen (and
tourist) at the entrance of the world. So I try to change my IP by
reconnecting, alltime it's impossible to enter. After I tried to delete all
cookies and another spy trace on my computer, and also reinstall my AW
browser, the same thing happen. At the end of my investigation, I install
AW browser on another computer of my LAN who have never go in AW, and
there, that work!!! I can connect on France! in tourist. So, in place, I
changing my connection to citizen mode (neophile) and there, I seen nothing
happen, no eject. After some seconds, I back to gala, and I've received a
telegram from alcior (the caretaker of france! I suppose) whith some
advertice and inssanity (because I've broken his tips for this strange
eject, I suppose) He's telling me he will go carrying complaint to my
provider(How he knows my provider? with my host? or my IP?) and he called
me bloody man! So I think, he use the big brother number of our system for
selecting the people, because with another computer, we can enter in his
world....

Aug 23, 2003, 9:24am

No, I don't think, because I have a XP CPU and an SIS chipset on my
motherboard, whithout serial number. Some guys tell me about a Lan Card
adress, Mac adress I think, perhaps that way?

Now, I'm answering you alcior:
ok,I see for your private mode is new, but why, when we have trying enter
your world, The following message was appearing:"You have been ejected
from france!"?, If your world is in private mode we should have this
message:"Sorry, you are not allowed to enter "france!".So your world was
not a private world before this week,when this strange eject happen?
And I'm not your "little", and I don't know you, so please trying stay

Note:I remember you, that the use of software on the internet can permiss
